They needed to make a cheaper stripped down model in order to look better to a perspective buyer (company buyer not Nook customer). The articles in the WSJ would support this and their discontinuance of the current 3G model makes sense if they are not profitable, especially if their ebook sales are not profitable enough to offset the loss of profits for the hardware. The thousands of "refurb" units they dumped on the market at cut rate prices also fits.

Just conjecture.
text size adjustment? they didn't take that away, where did you get that info from?
